BANKSIA
Ellis Guitars uses Banksia as tonewood tops on their custom acoustic stompbox. This timber is an exotic wood from Australia.
There are over 60 species of Banksia in South Western Australia. Lesser amounts grow in Australia's eastern coastal areas. Tropical Banksia occur across northern Australia, in Papua New Guinea, Irian Jaya and the Aru Islands. Banksia is used as guitar inlay material on Ellis custom acoustic guitars, and as Stompbox tonewood on the Ellis custom acoustic stompbox.
